-flops- I'm burnt out
13 years ago
-warning, work griping ahead. feeling bummed so I just wanted to frefall-
I've been working where I work for 6 years now, 6 years of dealing with mostly the dregs of American society, and I think I'm just getting sick of it. I wish I could move to another, non-customer facing department, but to keep the schedule I have, which allows me to take care of my daughter (the hubby, MIL and I have schedules that work around one another, since we can't afford daycare) And everything we -used- to have to help us de-stress at work is gone. We have minimal net access (can only get around it with some https sites, or secure proxys) we can't stream music, we can't decorate our desks (we don't even have assigned seats anymore because they don't have enough desks for everyone to have their own).
I feel like there's no point in trying here, they don't bother to motivate us, so why the fuck bother anymore... I wish I was consistent enough to make a living off of my art, or at least enough to suppliment our income so I could looks for something new.

I start training there tomorrow. :)
Also, weirdly, I apparently went to school with the woman who's training us, Amy I think her name is? Don't recognize each other at all, but that's not too surprising. Big school.
Despite their "productivity" concerns, they should've still allowed us to access the internet, they just kill our morale when there's no work to do, and don't do nearly enough fun things to make up for the customer shit we have to deal with.
Stay strong Silver. Is it possible when the wee one starts school, you might be able to look for something different?
